Fig. 8: The increasing likelihood of exceeding high temperature thresholds anywhere in the UK.
From: The increasing likelihood of temperatures above 30 to 40 °C in the United Kingdom
Timeseries of the return time for observing temperatures in the UK above a 30 °C, b 35 °C and c 40 °C with all forcings and future projections following the RCP 4.5 (in pink) and RCP 8.5 (in grey) scenarios. The thickness of the timeseries illustrates the uncertainty in the transfer functions used in the analysis. The expected range in the natural climate is marked in green. The vertical grey lines mark year 2020 (i.e., the present climate).
